Thanks for sharing!! I have close to the same starting stats, and so it's very encouraging to see such great results

Congrats on your success ~ your hard work is definitely paying off!!

I would bring your carb ratio down a bit if you aren't weightlifting. Up your fat intake a bit. Fat is essential for hormone production. Go to like a 40/40/30 ratio instead of having 50% of your calories coming from carbs. I mean, it's working for you, but you don't need that many carbs if you are focusing strictly on diet. It will make you plateau eventually. Congrats on your success though!!

I have really been working on that! I try to just chose one main carb a day, either Brown rice or a sweet potato. I seem to get a decent amount from my fruit too though. Always a work in progress. Thanks for the advice!

At least you are being smart with your carbs though... and it's not like bagels and chips and stuff! Everything you are eating sounds to be good! I'm sure you'll do fine on the rest of your journey!
